Latest Information

(August 2025)

Since starting construction in September 2024, we have made good progress on our civil phase with the construction of site tracks and foundations nearing completion. The focus over the coming months will be on site reinstatement, the control building as well as preparation of the turbine delivery route along the A836 between Thurso and the site entrance East of Strathy.

To enable the delivery of the turbine components, it is necessary for us to carry out some minor works on the A836 between Scabster and the site entrance which is just to the east of Strathy. Our contractor has received the necessary permissions for the works to commence on the 25th August with an expected duration of 4 weeks.

Whilst we will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum, temporary traffic management controls will be required during the works. We apologise for any inconvenience during this period and appreciate your patience.

Turbine deliveries are scheduled to commence later in the year. We will publish further information on this closer to the time and when plans have been finalised.

For any further information please contact the project team directly.
